Gilles Marini and Cheryl Burke wow everyone on 'Dancing With the Stars'

Steve O hit the skids, injuring his back and being carted off in an ambulance. Ah well, he certainly wasn't going to be the last twinkle-toes standing with those low scores. Meanwhile, Gilles Marini proved he was no one-dance wonder, almost acing his quickstep with a triplet of nines.

2. Melissa Rycroft and Tony Dovolani: As loyal as I am to GR's Molly Malaney, I have to admit, Melissa's a born hot stepper. "That was slammin'!" Carrie Ann raved of Mel's saucy salsa. I think she may be this season's Brooke Burke. Score: 26.

3. Shawn Johnson and Mark Ballas: I wonder if Shawn gets tired of being called "cute" and "little." Well, she can't fret about that too much. Bruno wants her to work on being "No-Tee" (naughty). Score: 24

4. Lil Kim and Derek Hough: The slammer seems to have done wonders for her attitude. "I want to show the world how elegant and refined I can be," said a shockingly demure, sweet, humble and compliant Lil Kim. And she did. Score: 23

5. Chuck Wicks and Julianne Hough: "You can shake your bum, but we need to see more," Bruno implored of the mystified Chuck. Julianne stood by, looking like she raided Big Bird's closet with that kooky costume. Score: 20

6. Ty Murray and Chelsie Hightower: The cha-cha may have bucked him off last week, but Ty lassoed the quickstep easily enough, boosting his score by 6 points. Carrie Ann said it: "Yee ha!" Score: 20

8: Lawrence Taylor and Edyta Sliwinska: That football-player-lovin' Carrie Ann was in high s pirits after Lawrence and Eddie's dance. "You can be smooth and powerful all at once," she said, twinkling like a Christmas tree. Score: 20

9. Belinda Carlisle and Jonathan Roberts: Aiming for a "wild, exciting" salsa, the former Go-Go had a slightly lackluster performance. Still love her, though. Score: 18

ABC PhotoLacey Schwimmer and Steve-O performed last week, but Steve-O was injured in rehearsal this week.

10. Holly Madison and Dmitri Chaplin: "Your bust is a little bit forward," Len said, oddly. "You looked like you were running for the bus," Bruno added. At least she's keeping her costumes sort of modest -- so far. With two low-scoring weeks, this former Bunny may be hopping away sooner than later. Score: 18

11. Steve Wozniak and Karina Smirnoff: Despite a foot injury (the doc said he was "crushing his foot" with every dance), Steve plugged away at his quickstep, reminding Bruno of Wall-E: "Rusty but resilient." And he went up one spot in my rankings, too. Score: 17

12. David Alan Grier and Kym Johnson: The comic mostly let Kym dance around him, which was the judges' main beef. I'm just not warming up to his personality, and let us not forget this is a popularity contest, too. What's up with his death glares when the judges dis him? Doesn't he know he needs to fake a smile? Score: 17

13. Steve O and Lacey Schwimmer: Steve O not only aborted a front flip by landing on his back, but after being taken to the hospital by ambulance, had to suffer the indignity of having his yawn-worthy taped dress rehearsal be judged on. Double wince! Score: 14
